Hey, I've been trying. I have work study and I've been trying any place that offers positions with work study.
Oh okay. Well, don't give up just yet. At the beginning of a semester a lot of students aren't able to follow up on commitments and an opening could appear at any time.

Meanwhile in DC today a guy carrying a Chik-fil-A bag and a gun walked into the Family Research Center and shot one security guard, who wrestled him to the ground, nobody killed
CF: Yeah. It's just frustrating because I've applied to several jobs and have either been rejected or had no replied (and it's passed the start sate for the position). There's a student job fair thing tomorrow I'll try going to. Maybe that'll help.
People are not helpful in finding jobs here. I'll call a department (I've found positions that way) and they'll tell me to go online and check the student job center where people post jobs. Okay, one, you think I'm so dumb I've not checked here and two, not everyone puts postings on there. Blergh, Oh well. I just gotta keep trying.

Actually that will. Those job fairs are really awesome in that regard -- just make sure you have your resume handy with all your volunteer work and the like on there.

Didn't the Chick-fil-A head geezer recently say that British Cigarettes were destroying Murrica?
Dunhills? When I did smoke cigarettes, we had those on base for like $5 a pack. Sweet cigarette, one of the better I've ever smoked. Right up there with Lucky Strikes. Weren't very common though.
On a visit to Canada, they were the only brand I recognized so I purchased a pack and they tasted absolutely horrible. Either they went stale on the trip from Nannyland to Canuckistan or they add something to them to make them taste like shit (to go with the graphic labels on the package.)
Whelp...my whining earlier has just gotten proven worthless. A chemistry lab needed assistance and I got five hours a week for $14.61 an hour hghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghgh
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
That's awesome, JZ!
If it's not too prying, what kind of chemistry lab is it? Last semester, my school offered an internship at a medical lab that did work with preserving and growing tissues.

JZ: Ah, so it's at school. That should be pretty convenient.
The labs at my school don't often offer paid jobs, but I think that's because our lab facilities are pretty small.
Gator: Yeah, we have a fairly large science/chemistry department here. Mainly because you need at least three labs if you're not some sort of science major. And many more labs if you are.
This is good too because my times fit well into my schedule and maybe I can try volunteering at the writing center to get some experience in my actual major.
I learned a new word today: Sugillate. It's currently in use as a technical term for a particular kind of bruising, but the original definition is, quite simply, "to beat black and blue."
Great to know next time I get into an extremely formal dust-up.

I love the Family Research Center almost as much as the Library Of Congress.
Psst, the joke is that the British idiom for cigarette is "Fag".
Sweet! Now you can make money and blow shit up
Gator: It's just general chemistry, 101 level. I'm not even a chemistry major, so a higher up lab probably wouldn't want me :P

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
Didn't know, and it tasted so good that I don't care.
